It seems that running threads are the norm here, so I guess I'll start my own. Heading down Africa now with my Defender, Attenborough. I'll likely post photos mainly, but maybe the occasional story as I try to write more. At the moment I'm in The Gambia, and if one more guy tells me that my...

Bananas, I love it

Part of me feels that way, but I really don't want to encourage the behaviour or the expectation that foreigner=gift.

My introduction to off-road trails, or pistes as they're called in Morocco got off to, shall we say a rocky start. I chose the High Atlas Mountain piste MH1 as it fit nicely into my proposed route through the country and Morocco Overland promised that it was a "meaty crossing", which sounded...

Funny to watch all the people show up and play a part. You don't keep any sand tracks with you?

Here ya go :)

Yeah, I have been thinking that maybe it's an omen to stay away from the puma engine.. The thing is that my salesman was perfect in the beginning, and even for a month after the order as I made some changes, but it seems he wasn't actually doing anything with my emails. Oh well. I left a...

So, I'll start with the fact that I'm pretty well beyond angry right now, but I need to sort out a solution more than I need to be angry, so let's proceed. Background info (quick version), I'm from New York, left my life there behind to travel full time, been in Europe for 6 months, decided to...

Very cool replacement, but I think that the first picture requires a little bit of explanation.. I know the Montero is capable, but that's like an 87 degree decline..

I'm starting to agree with you. I may just go with my website along the sides. I am doing a big map on the utility section though, but there is no doubt in my mind about that one..

What do you guys think about: "I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time."

Appreciate the comments. It's interesting to hear all of this. I have been a sports car guy for the last six or so years in New York, so I didn't see "One Life. Live It." until I started noticing Land Rovers around the UK a few months ago. So for me it's completely new and I've only maybe seen...

So I've seen the phrase on a ton of Defenders, I really like it and I'm planning on putting it on mine as well. But I'm curious if anyone knows where/when it started? Also, is it a Land Rover thing, or an all around overland thing? Just trying to understand the origins and current usage a bit...

The giraffe picture with your kids is priceless. They're very fortunate to have such a cool experience at that age.

Thanks man, I'll be writing soon, been all over the place lately and without a decent internet connection. Technically I'm already on the road and have been for over 4 months, but I'll be starting my Defender Adventure the beginning of November from the UK down into Africa, probably following a...

That is such an awesome video. I'm in Jersey at the moment. Coming back to England on Monday and I need to decide if I should head towards Wales or Scotland first. I'm thinking Scotland at the moment.. I will be following your trip for sure!

Great advice, thank you so much for taking the time. Yeah, not having airbags sort of makes it a problem in the states.. I'm from New York, but I'm getting the car in England where it's possible to register a car as a non-resident. You'll buy it soon enough. I got my delivery date and I will...

Awesome experiences. I briefly skimmed over your site, I will be emailing you very soon as I'm about to start a pretty similar journey myself..

Thank you for the list. I will certainly try to familiarize myself with the car before heading out, but as far as things being rusted closed... I really hope that it won't be the case, especially considering that the truck is coming straight to me from the factory. haha
